† The Deputy Chiefs of Staff were "trouble shooters" for the Commanding General and Chief of Air Staff, AAF. They usually were given specific assignments in definite areas, such as operations or materiel, according to need. The number of them varied from time to time.

* General House was on leave from 1 to 25 June 1945 pending retirement, and General Gardner, head of the Proving Ground Command (which had come under the AAF Center on 1 June 1945), became Acting Commanding General.
